About this home

Room to roam, privacy to enjoy, and updates already done! Set on 2.85 wooded acres in Morganton, this move-in-ready 3-bedroom, 2-bath ranch pairs comfortable one-level living with a peaceful outdoor setting. Animal lovers will appreciate the spacious, fully fenced backyard, offering plenty of room for dogs to play and explore. Inside, scratch-resistant luxury vinyl plank flooring flows through the open living, dining, and kitchen areas. The split-bedroom layout gives the primary suite added privacy, with a walk-in closet and private bath. Two additional bedrooms provide comfortable space and ample storage. Extensive permitted renovations completed within the past two years include updated plumbing and electrical systems, a new water line from the meter to the home, and replacement of the roof, HVAC, water heater, and insulation. Further improvements include a new crawl-space vapor barrier, sump pump, and added drainage. Enjoy the outdoors from the spacious deck-and-patio combination, complemented by new concrete, fresh hardscaping, and a wooded backdrop with a creek. The workshop shed features a new roof, insulation, and doors—ready for hobbies, projects, or extra storage. Just minutes from downtown Morganton and zoned for Salem Elementary, Liberty Middle, and Patton High. Fireplace is decorative and currently nonfunctional.
